Let’s go to the other side. The view will be better there.

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT Episode 5 — New York

I earnestly think no adaptation of the vampire lestat deserves any merit if it doesn’t translate this sequence between marius and lestat to screen because it establishes intentionality in their motivations for harm (lestat replicates marius’s strategies which are in turn learned from witnessing children being transformed to sexually satisfy vampires in constantinople), attests that armand and claudia are both transformed with the intent to strip them of their autonomy for their makers’ personal gain with no thought ever being offered to necessarily empower them via vampirism which mostly just serves as a tool to complete the process of their entrapment and further literalises the csa metaphor.
